"I welcomed this document, because our objective focuses on energy infrastructures which, in the Commission’s opinion, are outdated and poorly interconnected. They are essential in order to reduce carbon levels, guarantee security of supply and price stability for consumers, and also develop a single energy market that ensures access to energy sources at affordable prices for all businesses and citizens. On top of that there is solidarity between Member States, as it is not possible to talk about security without also mentioning solidarity within Europe. We are facing a whole range of urgent issues, including the spectacular increase in wind electricity generation in the regions around the North Sea and the Baltic, the huge renewable energy potential in southern Europe and North Africa, problems with large-scale electricity storage, the need to charge electric vehicles, and CO2 and hydrogen transport and storage. It is impossible to tackle all of these unless we envisage new networks and new interconnections both within the EU and with third countries. I believe that we need to: determine the necessary infrastructure; lay down the criteria for deciding which projects should be classed as being of European interest, taking account of balanced development in the various regions; ensure that these projects are implemented within a reasonable timeframe, working out formulae with which to resolve the controversial matter of authorisation procedures and the awarding of licences in the Member States, guaranteeing debate, information and public participation; improve cost allocation; secure financing that will attract and boost private investment."@en1
